circumstances.  If you see me travel to see someone, they must be very special, or have captivated my imagination to an extent that would make the effort worth my time.  That is the most precious commodity that any of us possesses, for me to spend time to "go" to see someone - anyone - should be taken as a very high complement, to both that persons intelligence as well as their personality.

No exceptions for however great a body or review that they may have.

and yes, planning is good - no one likes surprises - especially given the expenditure of time.  and I do expect free time for me!  but that is just me... and I am not a provider...

well, not in this life Lol!

Hummm.... so who would I go to see....!?   a couple come to mind....   and one in particular.

As with all things, communication is essential in order to ensure that both parties are happy with the experience.

Most of my trips have had somewhat of an outline to them, though we didn't have a tight agenda that needed to be stuck to.  Knowing a few things in advance (which shows you will be seeing, if you will be hiking, surfing, diving, etc) allows for the lady to bring the appropriate attire.

Free time - I would imagine that both the lady and the gent would want a little of that.  Time to workout, touch base with their family etc.  That would likely be a more common need with extended vacations (one or two weeks or more), though I would certainly see an hour or two a day on even a weekend excursion as being standard.

As long as both the lady and the gentleman are on the same page regarding what they desire and what is being offered, you should have a splendid time.

mostly one to two day flings, but also a couple of week long jaunts.

I knew the people for a number of years (with one significant exception) and things always went smoothly, even without any "free time" for either of us.  Other than the hotel and airfare arrangements, nothing was ever "planned" in the sense of having to stick to a certain schedule (excepting dinner and show reservation, of course.)

I have even gone out with a Korean ATF who speak very little English, and we still had a great time visiting museums and such.

If time and wallet allowed, I would do it more often.

...perhaps some guys hire four or five just for a months fun or some cultural exploring in Peru or Thailand. Like a modern day hareem or something. I read about one guy who hired about 30 in the course of 5 days. He did not shag them all but they were all available to him at a whim. It made the newspapers since his travel business went bust. Oh to be a jet setter like that. Post some details if you do that, I'd love to hear about it.

I've hired women for a couple of days before. It's no more interesting as topic than hiring women for 1/2 an hour. As long as you apply common sense you should be ok.

One, w/ my ATF, whom I'd known for a year; we were in love, but money still changed hands: we go to Hawaii for my bar association convention.  Spend huge amounts of time in bed. Get out to go to receptions, where colleages who slightly know me publicly mistake her for my wife.  She becomes great friends with the 12-year old daughter of a colleague.  After return to the mainland, we go visit her family -- her daughter, her sister, the whole crew goes tubing down the river.  I could have married the woman...I still hear her laughing....

Another one: It's a road show.  I fly her, sight unseen, from LA to NY because I like her postings on TER.  We spend two nights together, go to jazz clubs, eat various places.  Great fun, so next we rendezvous in Las Vegas where its just non-stop craziness at three different hotels.  Next stop: Philadelphia, where we admire the folk art on the buidlings, I buy her a leather corset and we get kinky in my hotel room with the cat o' nine tails. After that, it's the Twin Cities where I get to be in her amateur video production.  Then back in NY, we visit a professional mistress, just for fun, where she takes mistress lessons at my expense (in more ways than one).  No romance, no heart-to-heart, just good clean fun.

Third: She's in LA but comes to Dallas to meet me.  We spend two days rolling around in bed and occasionally getting out to go to state fairs, arborea, etc.  I'm nuts for this woman, but she'll have nothing of that.  She's more interested in sex, the more intense, the better;  but please, for God's sake, stay off of that emotional stuff.
